    What do you make of this weird Argentinian pistol?

    I found this pistol on an Argentinian website, where it was described as a “Mahely Junior” pistol. Mahely are a well-known make in Argentina and their copy of the Webley design has been fully documented , but I have never come across a “Junior” before. It does not look right to me. What do others think?

    I’d assume horribly front-heavy in that configuration. The grips don’t look particularly comfortable either.

    Looks like a cut-down rifle to me, with home made stock.https://forum.vintageairgunsgallery....mahely-junior/

    Well spotted ( the wonders of the Gallery!) I think you might have hit the nail on the head there. Apart from the fact that, as ashf9999 said, the gun would be ridiculously front-heavy, I can't see Mahely giving a rifle and a pistol the same name.

    Whoever the “Customiser” was, they maybe sold some quality meat.
